abstract: 'Italy''s economic development since its unification in 1861 has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characterized by extensive regional inequality. Northern regions were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the frontrunners of modern industrialization in the late 19th century,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while southern regions never closed the gap. New Economic Geography
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(NEG) proposes market access as the main driver of regional income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differentials. But is its effect homogeneous across regions? The NEG
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hypothesis is here for the first time considered for the north and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
south of Italy separately in the period 1871-1911. Following previous
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work by the author, both domestic and total market potentials are taken
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into account as possible drivers of regional gross domestic product
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(GDP) per capita. The results differ for the two macro-areas: in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
south, both market potentials have a strong role in determining the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
levels of GDP per capita, but they do not affect the growth rates from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
period to period; and in the north, only domestic market potential is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant in both levels and growth rates. These results point to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different dynamics at the sub-national level that should be further
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qualified by extending the analysis from the NUTS-2 to the NUTS-3 level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The policy implication is that market-oriented measures might not be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effective for the most disadvantaged regions before other prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for growth are achieved.'
